Hi everyone, I hope someone can shed some light on my issue. I've been trying to send HTML newsletters via Simplenews, however, when I send the newsletter, whether test email or actual email, the email produces a text only email with no clickable links. The places where links were suppose to be are converted to a reference such as [1] with the link appended to the footer as [1] http://www.websitename.com

I am using Drupal 5.9 and recently installed Simplenews 5.x-1.5 along with Mime Mail 5.x-1.0. I have made sure Mime Mail is enabled and configured to "Use Mime Mail for all messages". Also, within my newsletter I made sure the format box is HTML. I've also made sure the user preference for emails is set to HTML. I've reinstalled both Simplenews and Mime Mail several times. I'm running my system on a Linux server if it's relevant.

I have tried to use the module HTML Mail, which has a Test Mail function that sends emails in HTML and it sends HTML emails just fine.

Thanks in advance.

At Home › Administer › Content management › Settings › your newsletter name you must select 'Display hyperlinks and links to image inline with the text'.

I've tried to toggle it from "Append hyperlinks and links to images as a numbered reference list" and back to "Display hyperlinks and links to image inline with the text" but it returns this:

------------------------------------------------------------
test email
------------------------------------------------------------

click me [1]

-- Footer will be appended here
[1] http://www.hotmail.com

Is there an easy way i can trouble shoot this? i'm on godaddy hosting. would this have a setback?

The plain text you have is produced by Mime Mail. You may try the mime mail dev release.

mime mail dev didn't fix the issue. it created a long email with tons of code with the same text at the end of it:

------------------------------------------------------------
test email
------------------------------------------------------------

click me [1]

-- Footer will be appended here
[1] http://www.hotmail.com

is it possible i have a bad version of mimemail?

This patch for mime mail http://drupal.org/node/400998 fixed this issue for me but all the embedded images are also listed as attachments. Any way to stop this?
